Packing all-in-one convenience and super-telephoto reach into a lightweight package, it's the super zoom that goes the distance. A vast 14.2x zoom range. Rock-steady image stabilization.

No matter where the action happens—right in front of you, across the playing field or somewhere between—you’ll be able to frame the shot you want. Packing all-in-one convenience and super-telephoto reach into a lightweight package, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR lets you capture more shots in more situations, from right where you are.
Covering a vast 14.2x zoom range—from 28mm wide shots to 400mm close-ups—this is an ideal superzoom lens for large-field sports, theme parks, travel or anywhere the unexpected is expected.
Finally get to the heart of the action from the sidelines or bleachers with 400mm of reach (600mm equivalent on APS-C size/DX cameras).
Zoom out to get the entire scene into your shot or capture action that’s happening right in front of you.
Vary the look of your shots by using different zoom positions: wide to bring in background elements or tight to isolate your subjects.
Fill your frame and create beautiful bokeh with a 7.8 inch minimum focus distance and 0.35x reproduction ratio at 28mm.
Great moments don’t wait for a lens change. With the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR, you can follow the action wherever it goes.
Powered by a high-speed stepping motor (STM), the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR keeps up with fast-moving subjects like athletes, theme park rides and wildlife.
Just 725 g and 5.6 inches retracted, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is lightweight and well-balanced, and it doesn’t draw attention like some long lenses. Carry it comfortably on your shoulder or in a sling pack or backpack.
Leave the tripod and shoot handheld on-the-go. 5.0 stops* of optical Vibration Reduction (VR) keeps dimly lit photos sharp and videos steady. Get an extra boost up to 5.5 stops** when used with a Z series camera that supports Synchro VR.
Carefully sealed, especially around moving parts of the lens barrel, for worry-free durability.
Smooth and clickless. Set it to control aperture, ISO, exposure compensation or manual focus.
Prevents the lens from accidentally extending in transport; added peace of mind.
